Hello Beer Friends,

As the year winds down, we just wanted to say thank you.

In just a few short months, The Brew Deck has grown into a community of more than 20,000 Bay Area beer lovers, and we’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by your response. Together this year, we’ve broken down wet hop season, celebrated new breweries, drank more lager than ever, traced the lineage of IPA and West Coast Pils, spotlighted award-winning local beers, and generally, explored all that makes the Bay Area one of the great beer regions in the world.

And, today, a quick holiday assist—

IN NEED OF A LAST-MINUTE GIFT? 🍻

Early-bird pricing for SF Beer Week Fest 2026 is available through the end of the year. Tickets make a great gift for the beer lovers on your list (or yourself)—and SF Beer Week Fest at Salesforce Park is the only way to kick off the biggest and best regional beer celebration in the country.

Thanks again for reading, sharing, and supporting Bay Area beer! We hope our beers and tasting rooms will be a part of your holiday celebrations this year.

Happy Holidays,
The Brew Deck
